MEERUT DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ETC. vs SATBIR SINGH AND ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of notifications under Section 4(1) and declarations under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, following the amendment by Act 68 of 1984. The Court held that simultaneous publication of these notifications is invalid, reaffirming the principle established in Radhey Shyam Nigam's case. The Court quashed the declaration under Section 6 while upholding the High Court's findings on other grounds, thus allowing the appeals in part.
